well he should have put fragile stickers on it
Having worked at FedEx, everything has fragile stickers and “this way up” arrows. If I payed attention to every notice on every package, I’d run out of room on the truck before I was even halfway through my shift. Plus I’d be spending way too much time in the truck, and I’d constantly be running down the conveyor to collect packages I missed while I was in there. The only special instructions we have the time to address are the hazmat signs. But yeah, some people literally punt packages onto their trucks, so there’s a middle ground to be found.
Gonna fedex a big plastic box of diarrhoea with a cardboard lid and “this way up” painted correctly. You’ll never turn my packages upside-down again.
It would’ve spilled long before it got to me and the local delivery trucks I’d be loading. We’d be unpacking large cross-country semis that were packed so haphazardly that unofficial protocol was to open them and run; one time I almost had a car jack land on my head that someone decided to shove in on top of a stack of boxes.
Can confirm the semi thing, worked for a national post carrier for few months and sometimes had to help load and unload trucks for international shipments.
It would basically be us playing Tetris with the packages until about chest level, then someone would have to climb on top of that stack to fill it up to the ceiling. The smaller stuff and mail bags just get yeeted into whatever gap that exists.
Even after all that, there wouldn’t be much space left, so package your stuff well I guess
May I dare ask who you would be delivering this to?
Good question. Myself, probably.
Don’t forget the biohazard stickers
no amount of stickers will stop a rogue fedex agent from playing football with your packages
